Colors - Visitor's Love Poem

by Billie-Jo House
(Canada)

Flashes of blue and deep purple,
feelings in vivid colors surround me.
Canyons dusty dark within echo your name.
Thick, sticky emotions coat my heart
like warm, golden honey...sweet and soft.
Light wind dances to my lungs
just to be rejected, prickly...gentle
against my inner skin.
Flecks of amber wood in my eyes
studying everything, dreaming awake.
Buttermilk smooth covering over my
rigid bones with soft folds cushioning.
My brain pondering, thinking...love, lust
anger, hate, sadness...
Colors swimming in my head.
I feel the rainbow swirls
calling my name like a lover.
Pastels caressing my cheek,
brushing back my hair.
I close my eyes and dream the colors of you.
